Abstract

“Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude” (Dern, 2011). Exponential growth of evolving technologies necessitates learners be equipped not just with software skills but dispositions to master information overload. It is the attitude of an individual which shapes these dispositions that ultimately supports their ability to master competencies in an online environment. Assessing dispositions during online coursework could serve as the gateway to provide learners with directed information to become more dispositionally sound. The identification of validated dispositions becomes imperative so that adjustments are made based upon correct indicators.
